Summary
The Daily Show's top Tax Day coverage over the years including Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Ronny Chieng on America's most annoying holiday. From 2014, Jon Stewart covers the IRS having difficulty finding the proper documentation that it needs to end the government's scrutiny of the organization. And looking back to 2001, Mr. Money, Stephen Colbert, hates paying taxes and shows how to lie on a tax form. Plus, Ronny Chieng's 2023 look at the bizarre and uniquely complicated way America handles the process of filing taxes.
